I need the text in the navigation bar and body to match the text at the top (the header). The text is called WindsorDemi.fog Cn. I downloaded it from fontzone.net and it seemed to work fine. In the body I have:
<p style="text-align:center;font-family:WindsorDemi.fog Cn">
<font size="4"> Welcome to daikininc.com! home of the world's greatest egg roll wrappers and noodles!
</font>
</p>
Just like I would do with any other font. I am using a dell latitude D630...is there a reason why the browser is not recognizing this font? I need the fonts to match. Thanks.
Check if the font name is correct:
font-family:WindsorDemi.fog Cn
That doesn't look right. It looks like you're using the file name instead. A simple guess could be:
font-family:Windsor
I believe that if you set the style to:
style="text-align:center;font-family:WindsorDemi"
...It may work on your computer.
However, if you publish this page to the world wide web, only people who also have installed that font will see it as you do. For web pages you are stuck using generic font families, see wikipedia, or using web fonts like for example google fonts or the many good options here.
that font format is not supported by your browser. download the supported format from this link, make sure you check the browsers and operating systems supported before downloading http://font.downloadatoz.com/download,84557,windsordemi.html

I want to use the font 'Semplicita Pro' from the site https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/ for my own website project but I can't seem to find the font file on the website. Even if I should be able to get my hands on the file, would it be legal to use the font?
No, this is premium font which could be bought there:

This is kind of expensive. Maybe you could use one of the alternatives to this font?

I am currently working on a responsive page which uses unicode symbols on certain elements and I would like them to have the same "look". As I understand, each browser and each operating system have different fonts for unicode symbols, and I noticed that the font-family property was not helping.
My biggest problem right now is that all the unicode symbols that I use show up as colored emojis on smartphones, which often ruins the page's design. Is there any way to fix that? Am I missing something?
The answer to your question can be split into two:
How to not worry about client-side fonts: web fonts
How to use emoji/pictograms without browser changing the rendering: css icon font
The latter part is more relevant as you are specifically dealing with emoji.
Web fonts
Web fonts would solve the cross-system compatibility issue. These are fonts that are served to the browser. Google fonts is a good place to start —it is actually weird to see how much of the web uses them.
If your unicode is more than just Greek or CJK and uses, say, runes, you will need to make your own web font (which is easy, Googling gives many web servers and guides), which takes advantage of #font-face rule (wiki). One serious drawback to the latter is that there is a copyright problem if you use a font you found on some depository or on your machine, so that is something worth looking out for.
Icon font library
An icon font library is a stylesheet library (with a font) that inserts an icon after an empty element with a class named for that icon, e.g. in FontAwesome <i class="fa fa-hand-spock-o"></i>.
As emoji are a recent addition and the support is more than patchy, websites and browsers add the support themselves, often coloring them (e.g. Chromoji extension). Consequently, I strongly suggest using an icon font library.
I am partial to FontAwesome —e.g. an academic tool of mine—, but there are loads of other options, some are:
Bootstrap's Glyphicons
Typicons
Fontello allows a mishmash of various icon font libraries (a longer list can be found there).
If however, the icon you are looking for is absent, you can create an icon font library using one of the many web resources (eg iconmoon.io). For the images themselves, flaticon has large collection of icons that can be converted to a icon library, which saves you time from having to slave away in illustrator.
We are working with digital signage software that is pretty much based on HTML. I have generated a code for date and time from free time and date site, which is nice, and it has our language (serbian) supported.
However, there are a few fonts that are predefined which can we chose, none of which is pretty font. I wanted to know if its possible to add a code into it which can call a custom font which i uploaded on our personal storage. Im not that good with HTML, and seeing that this might be the best site for HTML problems on internet i thought that i might ask here
Here is the code:
<iframe src="http://free.timeanddate.com/clock/i4c0bglr/n3395/tlrs36/fn10/fs36/tct/pct/tt0/tb4" frameborder="0" width="504" height="86" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
thnx in advance
Yes, you can add custom fonts to your CSS.
It's a little bit tricky to get it right, because you need to convert your font file to 5 different file-types, and you then have to get your font-declarations just right. There are tools for this, but I haven't found one that does everything exactly right yet. Here is one.
If you are, as you say, not good with HTML, I would personally recommend Google Web Fonts. It's the easiest way of getting the results that you need fast.
EDIT:
Pure HTML font selection:
<font face="Helvetica">Text text text</font>
(only system fonts)
quick question, I'm currently trying to style a font to resemble the letters pictured below. Before I proceed any further I just wanted to be sure there wasn't already a standard, web-safe, font that resembles these letters. I'm not familiar with font design terminology, so I'm not sure what the technical description of the letters below would be. Thanks much.
I don't think there is a standard pre-installed web font (Like Arial, Times ....) out there that is this bold. Under some circumstances, you can force super-bold text using the font-weight property but cross-browser support is very shaky, and the font needs to support the boldness.
Google Web fonts has the Coda font which seems to come pretty close. Maybe that is an option?
Your other option is to use #font-face technology (which Google Fonts also uses) to provide your chosen font to your users. Google it - there's a wealth of material.
The only snag is that you must have a licence that allows you to put the font on the web (but fortunately lots of fonts can be licenced that way now).
Fontsquirrel.com is a good starting point.
(Beginner to HTML)
I have made a Photoshop mock-up of the website I want to make, but the text I have used in the mock-up looks different when viewed in Firefox. The text is Arial font, size 18pt and regular weight, and I have implemented this into HTML code, but it looks different.
Is there a way to make the font look the same in HTML as it does in Photoshop?
Thanks in advance :)
The short answer is "no". Photoshop has a lot more font functionality than a web browser. It applies all kinds of smoothing algorithms, and you can control kerning, tracking and spacing much better.
Each browser and OS has a distinct rendering engine as well, so even if you could get it the same in one browser/OS combination, it would look different in another.
However, check out all the CSS properties for text to see if you can get something you're able to live with. If not, your best bet is to just make an image out of your text and add it to your page with good "alt" text and such.
I'm not sure what OS you're on, but Windows and Macintosh have different font systems.
This post by Joel Spolsky points out that the font rendering is based on philosophical differences.
Is that what you're seeing? Please post images so we can see what you're talking about.
Fonts are something you simply can't get right on the web. If you absolutely have to control the look of fonts, then you have to use images (and get beaten for it, rightly so). It's simply not possible to achieve pixel-perfect text display in HTML. This starts with differences in fonts the operating system has and ends with differences in browser layout engines.
There are two ways to do it:
Take an image of that font and use it in the layout.
Use a custom font creation tool like SIFR or FLIR. This is a tricky option b/c you need to own Adobe Flash and you need to have the distribution rights to the font (similar to books, music, etc.).
Basically, if you want to have it look exactly the same and still stay standards compliant, this is really almost impossible.
If you're looking for how to turn Adobe Photoshop mockups into HTML documents, you should check out the screencast series on CSS-tricks.com, run by Chris Coyier, a very talented designer (no it's not me :) ).
Another thing that you will have to understand is that it is the people with the Web browsers that ultimately control how your page will look. So no matter how much fiddling you do to get a website the way you want to see it, it will view differently on someone else's computer
If you need perfect, crystal clear font matches you can use flash... but that comes with a whole boatload of downsides.
